Configuring System Settings

System Management on the Configurations tab allow you to view and change the values of the available properties for the
system. The potentially available properties and their respective settings are described below.

Chimney Offload State

Enables TCP Offload Engine (TOE) for the entire system. On Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the options are Enable

(default) and Disable. For Windows Server 2008 R2, the options are Enable, Disable, and Auto (default). If Chimney Offload State is

configured for Auto, then a 10 Gbps network adapter will have TOE enabled, but not for a 1 Gbps network adapter.

To enable TOE for individual network adapters, configure Chimney Offload State to Enable and also enable TCP Connection Offload
(IPv4) or TCP Connection Offload (IPv6) from the Advanced area of the Configuration tab.

Viewing Statistics

The information provided on the Statistics tab allows you to view traffic statistics for both Broadcom network adapters and network
adapters made by others. Statistical information and coverage are more comprehensive for Broadcom adapters.

To view Statistics information for any installed network adapter, click the name of the adapter listed in the Explorer View pane, then
click the Statistics tab.

If any of the sections described below is not visible, then from the Context View tab on the right side of the window, select
Statistics and then select the name of the missing section.

Click Refresh to get the most recent values for each statistic. Click Reset to change all values to zero for the current BACS session.

NOTES:

Team statistics are not compiled for a Broadcom network adapter if it is disabled.
Some statistics may not be available for all Broadcom network adapters.
